I am an experienced Greek translator and I have the readiness and ability to research. I also have the ability to go beyond the words themselves and I can deliver a good translation on the deadline asked. I am passionate about my job and I am eager to use all my means and efforts to deliver every translation project on time, based on the skills of a good translation I acquired during my post graduate and my Master studies in translation.

I am curious and motivated to keep on learning . I am obsessed with quality and I can use all available resources in the most appropriate way. Thanks to my specific linguistic education, I can master both the foreign language and my mother tongue. I am always up to date with my own culture and language and I specialise in certain fields, which enables me to provide good and quality Greek translation services.

I am accurate and I can thus provide an exact transfer of information, maintaining the “spirit” of the source text. I am honest and I try to submit a quality translation project, making the best of it. I am also humble and willing to accept corrections in order to improve my skills, as I am eager to learn new things and become better with the time

I have completed my post graduate studies in Translation at the Department of Foreign Languages and Translation at the Ionian University of Corfu, Greece, with a specialisation in Legal, Economic and Technical Translation from English and French to Greek. I have also completed my Master’s Degree on Bilingual Translation of the Department of Neo-hellenic studies at the University of Montpellier.

I like volunteering not only as a Greek translator for different kinds of organisation, but also as a contributor to environmental organisations which promote awareness and sensitize citizens towards a “green” way of living.

I have also completed my Master’s Degree in Intercultural Relations and Intercultural Cooperation at the University of Lille III, where I had the chance to use my previous knowledge on foreign cultures and languages. During this program I had the opportunity to broaden my skills and come into contact with an intercultural environment and the international affairs and politics.

I have two years working experience on economic translation, and more particularly on derivatives, finance and the stock exchange market. I also have experience both on legal documents, such as certificates, and technical documents of all kinds.

Angie | Why Choose Me?

I have the skills and the experience that a successful company like yours requires and I’m confident that I would be a great asset to your company. It’s not just my background undertaking and leading successful projects for top companies — or my people skills, which have helped me develop great relationships with translators, customers and managers alike. But I’m also passionate about this industry and I’m driven to deliver high-quality work.

I’ve been working for the past 11 years both as a freelance and as inhouse translator. I have also worked as project manager in various translation and subtitling projects as well as account manager. During that time I’ve been trained on a number of different software platforms and systems. I’d really describe myself as a person with versatile skills, a lot of integrity and a willingness to go the extra mile to satisfy a customer. I have worked with a large number of people around the world and participated in numerous projects and my desire is to continue to work and develop myself as a translator and possibly be part of your community as well.

One of my core values is the desire to build long-term relationships and treat others with respect placing an emphasis on effective communication. An example is that i still have a great relationship with translators and customers that I have worked with in the past. Other values that characterize me as a person and as a professional are integrity, respect and creativity.

In 2004 I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Languages at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Lectures included English Civilization, Translation Theory and Practice, Communication and Culture, Text and Translation, English Grammar and Syntax, German Grammar and Discussion of contemporary matters concerning Germany. My dissertation was a translation of a political speech from German to English and discussion/analysis of the pragmatic failure between two languages.

In 2006 I completed my Master’s Degree in Translation Studies. Lectures includes Translation Theory and Practice (Language Combinations: English-Greek, Greek-English, German-English), Interpretation, Subtitling, Research Management. My thesis concerned the translation of a technical text from English to Greek and discussion of all the problems that might arise when translating technical texts.

Although during my Master’s degree i was trained mostly for Simultaneous Interpreting, I have practiced it only once at an Archaeology Conference that took place in Athens. I could say that i have more experience in Whispering Interpreting and Liaison Interpreting although it has been years since the last time i was asked to perform such a task.

The last 5 years i have also been undertaking subtitling projects (subtitle translation and timing). The program i am working with is FAB Subtitler
